I believe you have to have TSM DRP.
We have recently implemented TSM, Content Manager OnDemand, and Centera
as the storage device. Content Manager OnDemand controls the retention
settings, and TSM is only the api to Centera. We have TSM Extended
Edition. I believe in order for retention to be set in TSM, you need to
purchase TSM DRP. I believe Centera has a base default setting, but in
our environment we need at least 8 tiers of retention so we let Content
Mgr OnDemand handle the retention.

Subject: EMC Centera
Hi team,
We are in the process of testing an EMC Centera as a storage repository
for TSM. We find the following snippet in:
Technical Changes for Version 5 Release 2 -- January 2004
EMC Centera Support
...
Centera devices can also be used as standard storage devices if no
mandatory retention requirements exist for the data.
...
We have no "mandatory retention requirements" We just want TSM to
control retention like he always has on other devices.
Now, by following the FM closely we are able to get data written to,
read from, the Centera BUT when our storage admin types do their
periodic housecleaning, unbeknown to TSM, all the TSM data is deleted.
Apparently there is an attribute of "deleteable" or "not deleteable"
somewhere in that box and TSM is not setting it.
Anyone have any knowledge/advice on how to get TSM and EMC Centera to
agree on retention controls?
TIA,
Ted Spendlove
